only those people who aren't really aware of what is happening in the world would think that. and sometimes media, although not directly, implies that bitcoin is criminal money.
they never say it out loud, it is a propaganda, they keep releasing news that bitcoin was used by some hacker as ransom, used by someone to buy drugs, etc. they never report millions used it to do other things.

things are a lot different in Forex trading than it is in bitcoin and then it is nothing like trading altcoins.
in Forex the market is huge and analysis,... works well there but still is a little unpredictable.

in bitcoin trading, you can be sure it goes up so you have a safety net even if something unpredictable happened and you made some wrong trades. and analysis works a little.

in altcoin trading nothing works, no analysis no prediction, nothing. it is all manipulation and pump and dump. you should always buy it low and sell at the speed of light when price goes up or otherwise lose money when they dump it. and that is the skill in altcoin trading.

this is gambling we are talking about so i am going to go ahead and say everyone is making bets based on their guts feelings and then in some game as a secondary option they use some analysis and study (like what you do in sports betting).
but the first thing will always be the feeling of luck and nobody can deny it. that is the whole idea of gambling anyways, to bet on a complete random thing for no reason.

thanks for the heads up OP.

what's up with these casinos asking for ID verification these days. i see another one of them created recently and even has a signature campaign and claims to be a regulated casino and asks for ID!
we are using bitcoin to not give them our ID, now the've gone back to asking for it.

in 10 years chances are all those altcoins would be dead and long gone. people catch on the scams, the premines and the ICO scams and finally worst of all the pump and dump and it kills the altcoin slowly but surely.
that is why i always invest in them short term.

this is a very bad strategy. i have tried it.
the badness is because it gives you some false sense of winning but in fact you are winning tiny amounts. and to accumulate 0.02BTC for example, you need to make a lot of bets (i don't know how many but it is A LOT) and when you make a lot of bets the chance of losing is also growing by it.

and guess what when you lose once you lose 0.08BTC but when you win 1000 times you haven't yet accumulated 1/10 of it!

you really had 25BTC (aka $30000) and easily were willing to bet and lose 10BTC (aka $12000) of it?!
my only conclusion is that you are rich, in which case why do you even care. you still have a lot of bitcoin and surely a lot of more money. just learn from your mistakes and move on.

sorry if it is a bit harsh but i can't see someone with hard earned money gamble and throw away $12000 just like that.

i hope that too but at the same time it doesn't look like being a trap. there is certainly still some doubt in the market which is making some weak hands and slow down the rise but it doesn't seem to have any kind of tendency to go down.
and "bad press" is always out there, and there is nothing we can do except to accept it and try to mvoe with the flow and take the opportunities if price dipped for example.

the problem is that people don't see it at the time. as you can see this topic and a lot of other similar topics are always created. mostly by trolls, at the times when price is a bit shaky and there is a dip.
these are mostly to spread FUD and sometimes even to pump an altcoin. but in the end we all see the altcoins die and bitcoin remain as strong as ever!

in my experience it is all in the house edge. that thing will ruin anybody with any kind of strategy in the long run. because as the name suggests, the house has the edge and it wil win in the long run.
there is nothing to change it either. i have had a theory that if you for example have a very large bankroll and start with 1 satoshi bet and use martingale you can never lose but after some study i realized there is no limit to the number of losses in a row (i even saw 64 reds from someone once!!) and that means you huge bankroll can be emptied in a second.

any gambling site that starts thinking about such a thing will be shooting itself in the foot. because the gamblers will simply close their accounts and go to another gambling site. and it is pretty easy since there are a lot of them around and most of them are offering the same thing with same features and same house edge and are also trusted.

and while we are playing with bitcoin, none of us will be willing to give anything to a gambling site.

i will never understand the fascination of people for comparing bitcoin with altcoins or even mentioning them in a bitcoin related topic.
i mean yeah, altcoins have had pretty good rises in the past and they continue to have them and there is a lot of profit there but the rise of the altcoins is not similar to bitcoin at all. they are fake pumps which is always followed by a bigger dump and they eventually die off withing 1 or 2 months.

now where is the similarity!

all of bitcoin features are still true and none of them have changed.
- it is still decentralized
- secure
- cheap
- not anonymous but keeps your privacy to some extent.
- and you can still use it for payment even more so than before since there are much more places that accept bitcoin.

so you are saying that bitcoin should be worth about 62,500 USD right? because the supply can not change, it is fixed and will gorw slowly and in order to have a trillion dollar marketcap price has to that high!

what you should have said is bitcoin should have a bigger user base instead of marketcap. and as a side effect marketcap will also grow.

if you have ever tried a dice bot you would have known that is not the case. actually when using a dice bot your rolls may even be slower depending on the bot and how it is coded.
there is no way site is slower than a bot, because when you open the site in the browser you are directly using their service and with a bot you go through the API, so it is either the same speed or bot will be slower.

it is going to take some time but eventually it will happen, the same thing was about classic and all the others, they come and make some noise and scare people but in the end they don't gain traction that matters and then they die.

these hiccups are good though, we can buy cheaper coins and make profit.

it is actually very innovative and has good features, and it is activating Segwit too. and it is a lot better than ethereum and dash.
but litecoin is also being pumped these days and LTC and XRP now replaced Dash and ETh pump with their pumps.


pump soon, no way but dead cat bounces, yes.
for another pump eth has to bottom out and then they have to accumulate again on the very bottom and then after 6 months pump it again.

the really real reason was that these altcoins were pumped and when an altcoin price is fake that means the bubble it is in will burst sooner or later. and as we see today, it is bursting hard.

bitcoin was just an excuse they used, there is no other reason for them rising. this FUD thing with BU was a perfect set up for them to pump their coins with the moto of "we are replacing bitcoin".


life is if you can join these when price is low and dump them hard when it is on top not waiting for them to go higher which will never happen.

haha, funny. Ok -39% sorry for rounding up the 1%. that surely makes a lot of difference to be dumped -39% not -40%

and here is the calculation if you are interested: [(0.0353-0.0579)/0.0579]*100 = -39%

or you can do it like [(0.0353/0.0579)-1]*100

i am sorry to disappoint you two but BU has never been a real threat and it was all a lie to dump the price and buy "your" cheap coins. now it is time to rise up to $1200+ and continue with testing the $1300 resistance for this month.

next time try not to fall for the FUD.
